Sassi Holford is an international bridal and womenswear design company – one of only a few still manufacturing in the UK – that wholesales to high-end retailers in the UK, USA and beyond. This respected British couturier has two prestigious retail outlets in Knightsbridge, London and Taunton, Somerset. The company has forty-five years of solid, organic growth and is implementing an expansion plan for the next five years.
The Sassi Holford brand is luxury and craftmanship – for our clients, through the clothes we handmake, we create trust and quiet confidence. The Store Manager for our prestigious London flagship store embodies these principles. The store is set in a Georgian townhouse in Knightsbridge, over five floors, with separate floors for sales, fittings and alterations.
The ideal candidate will have couture bridal or fashion experience, a high level of personal presentation and sound digital literacy. As the leader of a small, highly professional team, you will be responsible for all daily activities to maintain a level of luxury our international clientele expects. We aim to create a calm, understated luxury environment for each visitor to elevate their store experience.
You will be running style consultant and fit teams, and working closely with the marketing team. More mundane, but equally important, are administration, caretaking the premises and reporting to the Directors.
What Sassi Holford is looking for:
- Excellent sales and styling skills
- Ability to deliver an extremely high level of service to our international clientele
- Effective communication
- Proactive response and problem solving
- Positive and supportive team management
- Knowledge of garment construction and fitting
- The working hours for this position include two late weekday evenings and Saturdays in most weeks. An attractive salary package will be offered to the successful applicant.
